Boston in 5

I agree, except I think the Mavs will play ok enough to pull out 2 wins, and I wanna say the Heat will pull out 2 wins, possibly even 3. Bos just doesn't have any size or home court even though I don't think Miami is much of an home court advantage, but it helps a little bit.

Three seven footers and big baby.. where's miamis size.

 

[Bannister]

was never like this last year............Don't get me wrong there are always pissing contests but this year is really bad.

A few people weren't here last year.

Shaq didn't do much for Cle last year in the playoffs, all he is good for is taking hard fouls and he sucks against the pick and roll. I don't think Shaq, J. O'neal,Garnett and Kristic is any better than Dampier, Big Z, Bosh, and Magloire. Don't forget Haslem might be back for this series. You know he's another scrapper like Big Baby. Heat's best big man will prolly be Anthony though. He's another scrapper.

I don't think the front court on either team will be the deciding factor. It's gonna be the guard play. Can the Heat stop Rando and Allen? LBJ stopped Pierce last year in the playoffs, so I don't see Pierce having a big series this time either. I don't think Wade can guard Allen, he needs his energy for offense. The most important player will be Rando imo. If he's not putting up big numbers in the assist category, the Heat have a shot.

For this series to go to Boston, Celtics MUST steal one of the first two games in Miami. If it goes to game three in Boston with Miami up 2-0 its over in 5.

Think this ones going the distance, 7 games with the Heat pulling it out, they have alot ridng on this. If they lose to Boston, the hating will be heard worldwide for months

 

[The Josh]

I just don't think Miami has the firepower or toughness to take out Boston. If it goes 7 Miami has a chance but I don't think it gets to that point.

Sadly, I think Miami is gonna get to the Finals.

I'm curious to see how the Heat/Celtics series will rank in terms of ratings.

Seems like this is one of those love'em/hate'em series that makes the NBA a lot of $$$ in advertising.

No doubt. NBA wants the Heat and Lakers in the finals, I'm sure, because they have big stars and folks love and hate them as you say (I hate them both, personally )

I can't really say I hate any team, but I do love the Bulls!

You're probably right as far as the Finals. That would be the icing on Stern's three-layered cake!

 

[The Josh]

I do think Stern would take any matchup of Bos v LA, Mia v LA, or Chicago v LA. I personally think he's gonna get the last of those three.

Heat vs Celtics is going to be fun to watch.

I would take Chicago v anyone in the Finals.
It's been too long!!!!

Thats how I feel honestly. I don't care who we play at all. I want to be there #1 cause I know we can beat anyone.
